Red Robe Oolong (大紅袍)

Known as "Da Hong Pao" or Big Red Robe, this dark roasted Chinese oolong from the Wuyi Mountains offers a clear liquor with smoky, mineral complexity and a touch of orchid fragrance. Complete with Wuyi's signature "yan yun" finish with the tea's rocky sweetness lingering in aftertaste.

While many Da Hong Paos can be supremely expensive or concerningly cheap due to Wuyi's demand in China - this particular low-roast batch was purposely selected as a happy medium between accessibility and Red Robe's elusive flavor. We hope you enjoy getting a taste of this famous locale's "rock teas" without breaking the bank!

We recommend brewing at 208*F (higher than light roasted oolongs), steeping 4g of tea for 2 minutes with 8oz of hot water.
